Bakery On Main Introduces Rolled, Quick & Steelcut Happy Oats

New Certified Gluten-Free Lineup Provides a Good Source of Protein & an Excellent Source of Fiber

East Hartford, CT – Heart-healthy, simple and classic, a bowl of cooked oats has a way of making you feel happy and comforted on a cool day. When it comes to feeding ourselves and our family healthy meals, there’s nothing as tried and true as pure oats. That’s why Bakery On Main is introducing a new lineup called Happy Oats.

Certified gluten free, NON-GMO Project Verified, vegan, and OU Kosher, Happy Oats are made in the USA at Bakery On Main’s dedicated gluten-free facility and are monitored by a third party certifier from farm to fork. Created by an unabashedly real company that produces products celiac customers can trust, the ingredients for new Happy Oats are simple: Certified Gluten-Free Whole Grain Oats.

The lineup’s three inviting varieties include: Happy Rolled Oats, Happy Quick Oats, and Happy Steelcut Oats. The steelcut oats are sliced into two to three pieces and take about 30 minutes to cook. The rolled oats (aka “old-fashioned oats”) have been steamed and flattened and take about 15 minutes to cook. The quick oats have been cut into several pieces before being steamed and flattened into thinner flakes and take about five minutes to cook. Each whole grain, nutritional powerhouse is free of preservatives and naturally provides a good source of protein. They are also an excellent source of heart-healthy fiber and are low in saturated fat and free of cholesterol.

“Great taste and superior quality have been our mission since we began as a small bakery over ten years ago,” shared Bakery On Main’s founder Michael Smulders. “While our celiac customers can feel confident that our Happy Oats are safe because they are monitored by a third party from farm to fork, our natural oats are universally delicious regardless of dietary restriction.”

Available in vibrant and fun packaging, Bakery On Main’s audaciously premium Happy Oats are currently rolling out at natural food retailers across the country and online for an SRP of $6.49 for a 24oz bag.
